Hey everybody, I built a curious creation, it’s my first reversed knee Mecha.
“Strange” doesn’t even begin to cover it. I finally got a chance to use some of
the White and Dark Grey Parts that I had around for the longest.
:P
In the fine tradition of the Qwilljox I present: The Rumble Bunny
36 inches tall
Build Time 7 days
All new Joint Tech, featuring 25 Worm Gear points of articulation.
The overall model has over 30 points of mobility not including the hands.
I used a combination of Technic Gear box, Throwbot Gear box, Roborider Gear box,
Clear Technic Turntables and custom arrangements to support the weight of the
Mecha. Each Leg Joint is geared one step with; ~worm/ z24-z8-z40~ gearing
solution with the “Technic Beam bound to z40” technique. Weight on the Gear not
the Axle. The arms and legs are jointed to spin about 60 degrees in either
direction using a new capture technique, where as the Arms and Ankle Spin are
protected from “Pop out” with out the use of an internal flange. Addition
stiffen and internal rotation source provides friction from the inner rubber
ring found on the grey Micro Motor Mount Adapter Nut. A technique used in the
wrist shows the friction application.
3L White Axle with stud / Capture Axle Grab
Look! Does Not Pop Out
New, Strong and Compact Inner Hip Kick Out / Splay Joint Design
may be good new for Jama, retro fit study in progress
Two Mini-fig Pilots operate the Rumble Bunny. One in the Chest and One in the
Head, by Mouth Access
Upper Body Rotate and Spine Flex via Clear Technic Turntable and White Throwbot
Gear Box w/ z40
The Rumble Bunny’s Eye Lights are connected to an on-board power supply.
Built to bring “Whoop to Buttock” beneath the surface of the Moon, The Rumble
Bunny is prepared to take on all commers!
Enjoy!
The Rumble Bunny

| Lets get ready to rumble! E, the Rumble Bunny is amazing. You continue to innovate and inspire builders in all genres. The articualtion is amazing, and that reverse-knee joint is nuts.
